Arzheim is located in the west of the city of Landau in the Palatinate in the Weinstrasse region . The Ranschbach runs north of the settlement area in an east-west direction . The Kleine Kalmit, a designated nature reserve, is located in the south-west of the district . There is also a natural monument, the Kühungerbrunnen, not far from the boundary to the local community of Ranschbach .

history

The first documentary evidence can be found in 1250 in the Speyer necrology book as Arbotsheim . From time to time the place belonged to the Leininger Kämmerlehen . Arzheim belonged to the rule of the Madenburg , in which the Speyer prince-bishops took over the ownership until the middle of the 14th century and held this until the end of the 18th century, but the community was already under French sovereignty in 1765.

From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Artzheim - as it was spelled at the time - was incorporated into the canton of Landau . In 1814 the place had a total of 923 inhabitants. From 1818 to 1862 the place - still as part of the canton of Landau - was part of the Landau Landau commissioner , which was then converted into a district office. In 1832, participants in the Hambach Festival from the village erected a tree of freedom in Arzheim after they returned from the village .

In 1939 the place was incorporated into the Landau district. After the Second World War , Arzheim became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . In the course of the first administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate, the place changed to the newly created Landau-Bad Bergzabern district on June 7, 1969 . Just three years later, on April 22, 1972, it was incorporated into the independent city of Landau in the Palatinate .
